Tips & Advice

What is the difference between a hot tub and a spa?

There are no technical differences between a spa and a hot tub. Both spas and hot tubs are tubs with built-in jets used for relaxation, therapy, and entertaining. The terms are basically interchangeable. The two types of spas or hot tubs are portable, and custom-built or in-ground. Traditionally, in-ground or custom-built are more often referred to as spas. There are no real functional differences--spa just sounds more sophisticated.

Types of hot tub jets

There are several different types of hot tub jets to choose from, and each is unique in design and function:

Rotational jets move the water in circles.

Directional jets move the water in a specific direction, which you can aim or adjust yourself.

Pulsating jets have two holes in the center, so when water pressure is applied, the center spins, creating a water stream that alternates between the two holes, resulting in a pulse-like performance.

Multi-massage jets have several smaller holes that create individual water streams when water pressure is applied.

Ozone or cluster jets have a single center section that water flows through, and are usually not adjustable.

Most jets are adjustable by turning the nozzle extension to increase or decrease flow.

How much does it cost to operate a hot tub?

Operating costs hot tubs depend on your local utility rates, but the national average is about $0.40 per heating hour. Weather, location of the hot tub (indoors vs. outdoors), condition of the tub, the fit of the lid, and frequency of use, are all factors that can add to the bill. So, keep your tub maintained accordingly to keep the costs down, and lower the temperature when you will not be using it for extended periods of time, like going on vacation.

How do you keep a hot tub clean?

To keep a hot tub clean, you first need to have the appropriate chemicals and in the correct balance. Check the pH levels at least once a week and add or adjust chemicals accordingly. Check filters monthly and clean or replace them as necessary. Periodically drain your hot tub and clean the surface with a non-abrasive cleanser to remove any surface grime. You can add a “jet clean” chemical to your tub to help clean out the jets prior to draining. Be sure to thoroughly rinse and wipe the tub before refilling to eliminate any chemical or soap residue. For the cover, wipe the vinyl down with a gentle soap solution and clean the underside with a hose, but do not use chemicals on the underside as they may contaminate the water. These processes should keep your tub and water in excellent condition.

What is the advantage of using bromine instead of chlorine in a hot tub?

The advantage of using bromine instead of chlorine in your tub is that bromine is more effective in killing viruses, germs, and bacteria, ,and does it for a longer period of time than chlorine. Bromine has a lower pH level than chlorine, resulting in fewer chemical imbalances in your tub. It is also considered gentler on your skin than chlorine. But it is more expensive and can be harder than chlorine to wash off skin.

What does “shocking” a hot tub' mean?

Shocking your hot tub means dosing it with a supply of either chlorine or non-chlorine (bromine) solution. The solution creates an oxidation process that breaks down the organic wastes, such as human skin cells and body oils that can cause cloudy water and unpleasant odors.

What are the chemicals needed to keep a hot tub clean?

The standard chemicals needed for proper hot tub hygiene are chlorine or bromine. These are the two primary options for controlling and eliminating the growth of bacteria in your tub. But you only use one of them, as they work in slightly different ways. There are other chemicals you can add, such as water softeners, but it is essential to have either chlorine or bromine in your tub.

What supplies are needed for pool cleaning?

Essential pool cleaning supplies include a skimmer, pool brushes, a telescopic pool pole, and a vacuum. A water test kit is also essential, as it allows you to gauge the water quality and add solutions/chemicals as needed to balance the water. If you have a saltwater pool, you won’t add compound chlorine, but it will still require chemicals, as well as needing to be super-chlorinated (aka “shocked”) once a week.

What are the benefits of a saltwater pool?

The primary benefits of a saltwater pool are that the water is less harsh/irritating to skin and eyes than a chlorine-treated pool--and free of the chemical chlorine smell. Also, saltwater pools are less expensive upfront at the time of installation. (However, saltwater pools tend to be more expensive to maintain.) Saltwater pool still require regular upkeep--daily skimming, but they require less complex routines in terms of chemical monitoring and balancing. Weekly monitoring is just for three things: free chlorine, cyanuric acid stabilizer, and pH.

What is an automatic pool cleaner?

An automatic pool cleaner vacuums debris and dirt from the pool and brushes the surfaces clean. The basic models have a suction nozzle and a hose, and connect to the pool’s strainer basket and filter. These are suction-side or pressure-side pool cleaners. Robotic pool cleaners, which are used to clean larger pools, are self-contained and much more expensive. The appeal of all automatic pool cleaners is that they work with little to no human supervision.

You wrote a review for Rusaw Pool Service 3 minutes ago 9/28/2017 I hired him to find a pool leak. What happened is he sawed off my backwash valve (told me it was leaking, which later found out it was not). Pumped water into my drains for 2 hours (couldn't find a leak), came back with a backwash valve after 2 trips and by this time it was fishy so I asked how much the valve was and he said 200.00. Well I looked the part up and it goes for 109.00 retail MAX. I told him he was ripping me off. He said "so you aren't going to pay me?" I said no and he left. I then had a QUALIFIED pool company come and they are the ones who told me the original backwash valve was just fine and that he had butchered the pipes when he sawed it out. Oh and he broke the handle off the original too. The same valve he had bought was only 101.00 from the company who actually did work. Bottom line, I spent 268.00 I did NOT need to spend as Joseph has no clue what he is doing. He thought he had a sucker in me as he kept saying, "this is the first step in finding the leak" Do NOT use this company.

Extremely disappointed! The plaster job done by their company to our pool has several flawed areas. There have been many opportunities to repair. On several occasions we were told they would be there "next week." This went on for nearly two months. Will never followed through with anything he said he would. We gave him one final chance to make things right before we would take legal measure. Of course he didn't show.
